Police said they were called to the area of 389 Maple St. at 4:05 a.m., where they found a 2010 Nissan Sentra that had crashed into a tree, news partner The Milford Daily News reported.

The driver of the Nissan, 21-year-old Meaghan McGrath, was taken to Milford Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, said Bellingham Police Sgt. Rich Perry.

Perry said that McGrath was the only person in the car. The street was closed to traffic for about three hours while local police and officials from a regional accident reconstruction team investigated the crash.

Perry said that police are unsure if McGrath was wearing a seat belt. He said that preliminary investigations do not indicate that speed or alcohol were factors in the crash.
